CONSTRUCTION swam To all whom it may camera;

Be it known that I, JOHNL. MO TGOMER Stneha1n,in thecounty of Middlesex and State of 'Massach usetts'yhave invented an Improvement in Shade Construction for Pivoted Windows of which the following description, in connection with the accom panying drawings, is a specification, like characters on the drawings representing like arts. P This invention relates to ashadejor curtain construction especially des'ig'ned and adapted for use with pivoted WlIldOWS, SHCh .for instance, as the horizon ally pivoted sash sections in the windows otmillsand like ibnildings vvhose outer alls :are large 1y. .eqmposed of glass.

The inventionhas iorits object'to provide the pivoted windows oripivoted sections of large windows in the side walls of a' building ,With shades or curtains, which are capable of beingrlowered with the pivoted Win- (low in its open position Without interfer- .ence with the open Window.

The invention ,iurther has. for ,its object- ,to provide ,a gshadeor curtain construction, in. which the f ree end Set the shade lorcurtai s in slidin en a emen t guide rods which are movableand are operativejly connected with the movable window to be movedthereby, and which permit the shade to be lowered with a tension and Without disturbing the position fot the These and other features of the invention will be ,pointed ,outEin the clai at the end of this specification.

The arm 26is attached tom. bracket or bar'27 pivoted at 28 tofthefarm 230f a bracket .30 attached tqthe casing 31 of the stationary windowr or to ai -Sta tionary part of the window fraine. I The guide rods 24 'are free at-theirnpper ends to slide "through. the .ears .23 of the curtain fixtures. The guide rods 24 a1soextend through suitable guides 32 attached to the usual shadestick or slat (notshown) .Wheni'the window a is closed,'the .guide the free end ofthe shade 14', preferably to rods 24 are substantially parallel with the wall of the building, which is represented by the stationary window, and the shade can be lowered or drawn down in the usual manner by a suitable cord, not shown, and may be held in its lowered position by fastening the cord to a button or other device 34 attached to the stationary window casing.

When it is desired to ventilate the building, the window a is turned on its pivots I), usually so that the top half of the window a projects into the room or building, and the shade l l lSlllQVBd. with the window away 'fromthe wall of the building more or less according to the amount the window is "opened. As the shade is moved into the room, the free ends of the guide rods 2 1E are carried by the shade fixtures awayfrom the wallof the buildin'ggwhich is permitted by the'guiderods turning at their lower ends ofn th-eir ,pivots 28. ,7 iPAs. the upper or free ends of the guide .rods are 'moved away from the wall of the building, the shade fixtures are turned on their pivots 16 by the guide rods and the ears 23 slide down on thesame after the annerrepresented in'Fi 5, It willthus 'befseen, that the shade is. carried by the movable window and that the latter can be opened to any extent desired without interferingwith the shade, which is. free to be raised and lowered on its guide rods with a minimum tensionror pull in'all positions of the window.

"By reference to Fig. 1, it will also be'yobserved that the shade 14C co-operates with the stationary side lights 10 as well'as with the movable window a,; which 7 is effected by making. the supporting brackets 18 long enough to have the shadecover the side lights 10 and yet be movable with the wind'owa f V If theshadef is to be used with theewindow a alone; as in those constructions wherein the. side lights 1O are omitted, the brackets 18 will be madeshorter than those herein 'sholwn and used with a narrower sliadeof substantially the same width as the window a, y 1 I Wheii the building is provided with top lights 12 as herein shown, asupplemental {I 'shade aO of, usual construction will be-used coverthesameq v V ,B referen e t -Fig Z, it' will be seen that whenthe window a is'closed, the guide rods 24am 1n a'vertical position and, that M theshadewhen drawn downihas its free end said rods, and that when the wl-ndowaus opened, the free ends of, the guideflro s arermoved awayffrom the wall of the building, and the free; end of the y shade remains in sliding engagement with theguide rod's a nd' slides' thereon wl-i'cn the movement under the influence of the air by the guide rods. As a result, the shade can be drawn down with a minimum tension or pull, as the pull or tension required is only such as is required to overcome the tension of the spring of the shade, and is not such as, will move the window from its adjusted open position.
